Identifying the social innovation tools and trends that hold the key to transformative impact in the future

New Profit’s leadership team has been advancing an argument about the best pathways to scale for great social innovations, based on New Profit Managing Partner Kim Syman’s “7 Reasons for Social Innovation Optimism” series in Fast Company. We believe that while great progress has been made against some of America’s biggest challenges – education, early childhood development, economic empowerment and public health – we must innovate relentlessly to reach full-scale impact and meet the needs that exist among millions of our fellow citizens. For any of this to work, we must also invest more innovation energy in approaches that empower beneficiaries themselves to take control.
